Electro-Harmonix Pico Platform Compressor/Limiter Pedal

Compact Compressor and Limiter Pedal for Dynamic Control
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Platform Compressor/Limiter Pedal brings professional studio-level dynamics control into a compact stompbox, making it perfect for musicians with limited pedalboard space. Whether you're looking to tighten up your tone with some gentle compression or achieve extreme limiting effects, this pedal offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. With both compressor and limiter modes, you can fine-tune your dynamics with precision, offering transparent, coloration-free sound or aggressive compression for that highly-squashed tone.

Two Modes for Maximum Flexibility
The Pico Platform gives you two essential modes for controlling your dynamics: Compressor and Limiter. Compressor mode is ideal for smoothing out your signal by balancing the quiet and loud parts of your performance, while Limiter mode ensures that your loudest peaks are kept under control without unwanted distortion. These two modes provide maximum flexibility, allowing you to choose the right type of dynamics processing for your playing style and musical needs, whether you’re performing live or in the studio.

Selectable Compression Curves for Tailored Sound
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Platform gives you the ability to select between Hard Knee and Soft Knee compression curves, allowing you to shape your compression to suit your style. Hard Knee compression offers more noticeable compression when your signal exceeds the threshold, creating a more aggressive effect, while Soft Knee compression provides a more subtle and smooth transition into compression for a gentler, more natural effect. This control lets you adjust the feel of your dynamics processing to match your playing technique, whether you want a transparent effect or something more pronounced.

Fine-Tuned Control Over Your Dynamics
The Pico Platform features four intuitive knobs—Sustain, Attack, Volume, and Blend—giving you total control over your sound. The Sustain knob adjusts the compressor’s ratio or the limiter’s threshold, determining how much compression is applied. The Attack knob controls how quickly the compressor engages, allowing you to shape the impact of your initial note. The Volume knob gives you full control over your output level, while the Blend knob lets you adjust the dry/wet ratio, so you can maintain your attack and dynamics while still applying compression. These controls allow you to dial in the perfect amount of dynamics processing without compromising your tone.

Ultra-Transparent or Hyper-Squashed Tones
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Platform is perfect for musicians who value transparency in their sound, offering coloration-free compression for a clean, clear tone. However, for those who prefer a more aggressive approach, the pedal can also achieve hyper-squashed tones with heavy compression, making it versatile enough to handle a wide range of sonic styles. Whether you're looking for subtle dynamic control or an over-the-top compressed effect, the Pico Platform adapts to your needs, providing dynamic sculpting that fits seamlessly into any setup.

Compact and Easy to Use
Despite its extensive features, the Electro-Harmonix Pico Platform comes in a highly compact design, ensuring it fits easily onto your pedalboard without taking up unnecessary space. Its simple, user-friendly interface makes it quick and easy to dial in your desired sound, so you can focus more on playing and less on complicated setups. The inclusion of a power adapter ensures that you’re ready to go right out of the box, and the pedal’s sturdy construction makes it perfect for both home studios and live performances.
